There was a difference meanwhile for such puzzlements before the porticos of the theatres; all questions melted for me there into the single depth of envy envy of the equal, the beatific command of the evening hour, in the régime of Honorine's young train, who were fresh for the early sparrow and the chiffonier even after shedding buckets of tears the night before, and not so much as for the first or the second time, over the beautiful story of La Dame aux Camélias.
Our people, on the contrary, remain faithful to their great poets and enjoy their works. After school comes college, and after college the theatre. It should elevate and expand the soul. The people do not need any representation of reality they are well acquainted with that in their daily lives. One must put something greater and nobler before them, something superior to 'La Dame aux Camélias."
The unfortunate artistes, who had counted on getting breakfast in Chicago, which we ought to have reached at eleven o'clock, were lamenting, for with the new itinerary that we were forced to follow we could not reach Milwaukee before half-past one. There we were to give a matinee at two o'clock La Dame aux Camelias.
Oh, what a tongue! What dreadful things you are saying," cried the general, wringing his hands in real grief. "I am intoxicated, general. I am having a day out, you know it's my birthday! I have long looked forward to this happy occasion. Daria Alexeyevna, you see that nosegay-man, that Monsieur aux Camelias, sitting there laughing at us?"
"Yes," said Wilhelmina, "these are not white roses; indeed, they seem to be artificial flowers; their leaves are hard and thick like alabaster, and dazzlingly white like snow. What flowers are these, my prince?" "They are camelias. I recently heard you speak of these rare flowers, which had just been imported to Europe. I hoped to please you by placing them in your hands."
Thus there is a fervour in his love-making a suffusion of his whole being with the rapture of his passion that sheds a glory on its object, and raises her, before the eyes of the audience, into the light in which he sees her. It was this remarkable power that took Paris by storm when he became famous in the lover's part in the Dame aux Camelias.
Aylett swam down the staircase, resplendent in silver- gray satin, pearl necklace and bracelets, orange flowers and camelias in her hair semi-bridal attire, that became her as nothing else ever had done.
Two years afterward were brought out at Rome and Venice respectively two operas, stamped with the same salient qualities, "Il Trovatore" and "La Traviata," the last a lyric adaptation of Dumas fils's "Dame aux Camélias." These three operas have generally been considered his masterpieces, though it is more than possible that the riper judgment of the future will not sustain this claim.
"I do not speak French, Excellency," he answered. "You should learn, because charm is a word one cannot say in Italian. I do not know how to say it in our language." "Let me talk about flowers to him," said San Miniato. "I will make him understand. Which do you like better, Ruggiero, camelias or violets?" "The camelia is a more lordly flower, Excellency, but for me I like the violets." "Why?"
There's no denying I'm effective," she admitted tartly, and stepped down and stood for a moment shivering as if she had done something distasteful. And then climbed on to the chair again. "In evening dress, like the one Sarah Bernhardt wore in La Dame aux Camélias, I dare say I could look all right with a fan a big fan of ostrich feathers."
